About the Book
Donna Pryor lives in the lap of luxury. She spends her days in a beautifully appointed condo. Her every whim is catered to by a dedicated staff, and she does not want for anything.
Except for news of her adult daughter.
Or an ex-husband who takes her calls.
Donna knows something is wrong, but she can’t quite put her finger on it. As her life of privilege starts to feel more and more like a prison, the facade she has depended on begins to crumble. Somewhere in the ruins is the truth, and the closer Donna Pryor gets to it, the more likely it is to destroy her.
My Review
I struggled initially getting into the story, because the pacing is quite slow and the build up to the main suspense took several chapters to finally become fleshed out. That being said, I’m glad I decided to stick around because the ending really was shocking and not where I thought the story was going to go. A domestic drama that follows Donna, her estranged husband and their potentially unfit daughter, lets readers into the minds of all these characters and how they view their lives together. The setting of the Shadow Garden house contributed to the chilling element of this novel, and while I did want to see it through to the end, I wouldn’t call this a favorite.
